In this patch I did, I am not rendering the board body separated from the copper call list. I was missing in fact the separation between the top and bottom copper to play a bit with that..
Also, I noticed that this transparency method to render the solder past is not "physical rendering correct". you will notice that when you try to render a black solder mask. It will not look like a real black solder mask board because you will have a little color from the "copper color". I do believe that in reality the solder mask is less transparency and it will filter also the color that the copper will reflect. So, if we have a black solder mask with gold copper, the mask will filter much of the yellow color from the gold. anyway, we can't do it at the moment because we don't have a separate copper (with and without solder mask zone) to make that "operations". ________________________________________ From: Andrew Zonenberg [[email protected]] Sent: 17 August 2014 05:20 To: Jason Whiteman Cc: Mário Luzeiro; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Kicad-developers] New 3D Viewer options patch Possibly a bug in the order layers are drawn in?
